P2P or F2P

Reiatsu · 20th August 2008, 16:11

Small Question But will the game be F2P ( Free to Play) or P2P ( Pay to Play).

rick · 20th August 2008, 16:14

read the faq. it has a monthly fee.

Aww, and I thought this was going to a discussion on whether you like P2P or F2P games...

Reiatsu · 20th August 2008, 23:58

Lol This was a whether you like F2P or P2P game personally i like F2P cause i know i can always play it with my friends i also like B2P

p2p is definitely better. it keeps out people that don't care enough about the game to play it, and it keeps 11 yr olds from playing. it also produces more revenue for the devs, meaning they have more money to continue making the game better.

Exactly what I was thinking. Personally I think p2p games are just made better. It's just a better quality with p2p I personally don't like half assed games that don't come with any new updates or anything of the sort.

If you want F2P, there are plenty of 2D Chinese MMO's out there for you.

bluealien1 · 21st August 2008, 02:14

p2p is MUCH better. Much less hacking, better community. f2p games ftl.

I totally agree with you man, also to the guy thinking f2p is good its far from good if they wanted it free to play it would be out right now half a$$ made, like all other free to play maplestory lol archlord (worst game of all time) and so on eve online silkroad.

realnaste · 24th August 2008, 13:43

But it would be great, if they'd decide to go for the option that is used with Guild Wars (B2P ?)
I personaly work, nad study at the same time, thus I have to count every peny i have.

Myst · 24th August 2008, 14:21

Yea, the only F2P good games I know are Entropia Universe and ShadowBane (Atlantica Online is pretty good tho, even if it's still on beta stage).

Most of the F2P are just crappy games, with a lame community. It's a good thing to know that MO will be P2P.

Dosen't seem to work sometimes these days. =)

I like paying to play. More new stuff, policed better, more mature (to an extent) folks playing it.

P2P isn't a big deal. You make the amount of money you need per month in three hours working at a fast food restaurant, and in less than an hour if you have a 'real' job.

oophus · 1st November 2008, 00:12

Just go give blood, and your done.

Mathael · 1st November 2008, 01:24

Not all F2P games are bad, things like first person shooters are great for that option. I personally prefer games that are P2P because it not only restricts certain player groups but also offers a service to the player.

Zenir · 2nd November 2008, 00:28

F2P means free to play, you don't have to buy anything. First person shooters like CS you buy.
At least thats the legal way...

We are referring to online payment ones like Guild Wars being F2P and WoW being P2P, not simply buying the box since most non-independent / non-web based games are not free.

But remember what kind of MMO Guild Wars is. For me its more like singleplayer game with online servers and thrown in player to player interactions.
